They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. — Hebrews 11:13
In this chapter, God honors those who put their faith in Him. They please Him. And they believed, even when they did not receive.
There is something to be said for the name it and claim it gospel. But these heroes of the faith went way beyond that. They went to claim it and came back empty. That did not deter them. They trusted God to meet them with the things promised, even if they had to travel through death to make the meeting.
What is out of reach in your life? The One who stands on both sides of life and death is trustworthy. He doesn’t forget His promises.
Remember this: The reason God doesn’t meet our timetable is that God’s plans for us are way too big to fit inside our tiny schedules.
